It’s Official!
The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced their Hall of Fame Class of 2015 and our favorite five week period where the Baseball, Rock and Roll and Pro Football Hall of Fames all announce their Classes.
This year’s class includes:
Junior Seau, the number one player on our Notinhalloffame.com list. Seau was not only regarded as one of the best Linebackers of his era, but of all time.
Charles Haley, the only man with five Super Bowl rings. Haley has been eligible since 2005 and has been a Finalist every year since 2010.
Jerome Bettis, who has been eligible since 2011 and was a Finalist every year. The former Pittsburgh Steeler and Super Bowl winner in his final game is currently sixth all-time in Rushing Yards.
Tim Brown, who has been a Finalist the past six years and has finally overcome the logjams of Wide Receivers ahead of him. Brown is a former nine time Pro Bowl Selection.
Will Shields, the long time Kansas City Chief Offensive Lineman who was a nine time Pro Bowler.
Mick Tingelhoff, this year’s lone Senior Candidate and seventeen year veteran Center from the Minnesota Vikings.
Ron Wolf, one of two Finalists in the new Contributors category. Wolf was a Finalist last year, and his evaluation of player personnel made champions out of both the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers.
Bill Polian, the other Contributor Finalist, who was the architect of the Bills power in the early 1990’s and longtime executive with the Indianapolis Colts.
This marks the second consecutive snub for Marvin Harrison, who has stat wise and accolade wise has been the top Wide Receiver on the ballot.
Another notable exception is Kurt Warner, who entering his first year on the ballot was expected by many to make it in. The same goes for Orlando Pace, his teammate with the St. Louis Rams, who did not get in.
All three of the Coaches who were nominated, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Dungy and Don Coryell were not chosen.
Kevin Greene, John Lynch and Morten Andersen also were not chosen.
We would like to congratulate this year’s Class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and in one month’s time, we will unleash the new list for next year.
